Former Vice-Admiral Robert Harward tells The Jerusalem Post that Iran's regime is near collapse, citing its weakened state, protests, and failed aggression, with US options for supporting protesters.

The US urged its citizens to "leave Iran now" due to protests, security measures, and flight disruptions. Dual nationals face the risk of detention, the travel advisory warned.

According to the former official, thugs were employed by the regime to "identify individuals and guide or misdirect street movements."

Speaking to reporters on a return flight from a visit to Egypt, Erdogan added that talks at the level of the US and Iranian leadership would be helpful after lower-level nuclear negotiations.

An Iranian opposition group says top secret files outline a four-stage crisis plan with internet blackouts and orders for IRGC forces to open fire on protesters.

Iran’s Internet blackout denied protesters access to information and helped the regime outmaneuver the US in the information war.

Iranian officials have repeatedly said Tehran had recovered from the damage incurred during the war and that its capabilities are better than ever.

Iranian MP Mojtaba Zarei urged Jordanians to seize the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and take US soldiers captive after Tehran strikes the base in a threatened upcoming ballistic missile attack.

Israelis are divided on Iran, US military aid, and Netanyahu’s role in Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace, according to a new Israel Democracy Institute survey.
